India created history today when
ISRO's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) successfully entered the orbit of the red
planet Mars. The extraordinary milestone made India the first nation to enter
Mars orbit in first attempt. While every Indian has a reason to celebrate this
momentous occasion, the team at Accord Equips has a double reason to rejoice as
its camera team earned the honor of recording the second by second moves of the
prestigious Mangalayan launch process.
While the accomplished scientists
of ISRO went about with scientific precision all through the launch process,
Accord Equips’ camera Canon C300 was unfailingly shooting the well planned
on-location activities that unfolded 12 hours before the launch. The fact that
this prestigious up to the minute account of Mangalayan’s victorious launch
will be preserved for generations to come through the coverage captured by
Accord Equips’ flagship camera Canon C300 brings an enormous sense of
achievement to the whole team of this end to end digital filming solutions
provider.
On this splendid moment Mr.
Tejash Shah, Managing Director, Accord Equips says, “It’s been our pleasure and
pride to be part of this mission. We heartily congratulate ISRO’s team for the
successful launch of Mars Orbit Mission (MOM), also we are thankful to ISRO
team for providing us with such a great opportunity.”
Accord Equips was a pioneer in
bringing Canon C300 (EF mount) camera to the tinsel town of Mumbai. The EOS
C300 camera has been designed to meet the demanding needs of cinema industry
professionals, providing a modular, portable and eminently adaptable system of
cameras, lenses and accessories built for movie making in the 21st century. The
company has many firsts and landmark endeavors to its credit. From being a
pioneer in introducing digital video (DV) formats for rentals in Mumbai to
being the first to bring in tapeless HD support to low cost digital, Accord
Equips has had a long drawn list of technology breakthroughs to date. But to be
a part an achievement of national significance will always remain one of the
most cherished moments for the Accord Equips team.
“It is an overwhelming moment. We
are proud, emotional and humbled at the same time. We remember our team
returned spellbound by the spectacle. They particularly remember the raised
temperature due to the heat released at the time of launch. We wish ISRO many
more history making successes in the future”, says Mr. Shah.
